FISHKILL, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 Yankees ace Gerrit Cole threw 4 1\/3 innings for his second straight minor league injury rehabilitation start, allowing two runs and five hits for the Class A Hudson Valley Renegades against the New York Mets’ Brooklyn Cyclones on Thursday night in the South Atlantic League.<\/p>\n
A 35-year-old right-hander, Cole struck out four and walked none while throwing 42 of 52 pitches for strikes. He allowed a fourth-inning homer to Corey Collins and a fifth-inning sacrifice fly to Diego Mosquera following Yohairo Cuevas’ leadoff double.<\/p>\n
\u201cFelt good. Got into the fifth again and threw all my pitches, so a good night,\u201d Cole said.<\/p>\n
In Cole’s first rehab outing last Friday, he gave up three runs over 4 1\/3 innings while throwing 44 pitches for Double-A Somerset against Reading. He allowed three hits, including a two-run homer, and one walk while striking out three.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s responding well to all the new stimulus and so we keep plugging away,\u201d Cole said of his pitching arm.<\/p>\n
Cole is returning from reconstructive elbow surgery on March 11 last year that sidelined him for 2025. His last official outing was in Game 5 of the 2024 World Series that Oct. 30.<\/p>\n
Carlos Rod\u00f3n is scheduled to make his first rehab start Friday against Brooklyn. The 33-year-old left-hander is recovering from surgery on Oct. 15 to remove loose bodies in his left elbow and shave a bone spur. He was slowed this spring by a tight right hamstring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FISHKILL, N.Y.
